They have a Priest that is their archivists. They had some of their parish records on line, even some orphange records, but not all. I emailed and ask him to look for me, and he found the exact records I needed. In my case it was when he was accepted into the orphanage, and when he departed. He was adopted by his grandfather during this time period, and I had already found his first communion record on line. I would call and see who has the records in that area, as perhaps you can save time if they can assist you. He even scanned some records for me.
